Ross Tucker picks Redskins to go 10-6

My issue with that is that not all 4-12 teams are the same. They can be just as good as a 2-14 team or a 6-10 team. Now if he wants to start breaking down strength of schedule in both years, strength of additions, etc then I'll start listening. Not saying that he's right, but to try to make a science out of it with just those two constants (coach change, 4-12 record) and a shitton of other variables is a bit irresponsible. Maybe not irresponsible, but it ignores a lot.

I hear you, but he's using such a large sample size with his comparisons, I think it probably averages out.

It could, wouldn't mind being the exception rather than the rule however.

Finally some good news/thoughts.

I don't think the Eagles are 9-7 this year. Kolb has looked like GARBAGE.

Haha, who cares how rare they are ... most if not all preseason predictions are usually off base. It was just nice to see something so gleamingly positive written about the Redskins by someone not on this board.

Must have had too much Kool-Aid!

We will do well if we can double our win output.

He must not be looking at our opponents.

On the other part of the page, Peter King likes us so much, he fails to talk about the B&G.

Ross Tucker, John Clayton, and Antonio Pierce are all drinking the same redskins kool aid. I like it! And Agree with them.

I think we could potentially win 10 but we would need a few breaks, that being said i think we will be a top 5 D and a top 10 O

I feel sooo much better! Here's Jason LaCanfora's take on Kolb:

"Jason La Canfora gives the Eagles 10 wins: 'Kevin Kolb is going to be a star. If the OL was more settled I'd like their chances more. Dick Jauron should bring consistency to secondary.'"

I would be thrilled with 8-8.
